[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 671097, member: 25095"] All three are great lenses, in my opinion! To me, these break down into two uses though. The 18-140mm is a good general purpose zoom, ranging from wide angle to general telephoto. The 70-300 and 80-200 are both good telephoto lenses. For architecture, usually the wider is better, but I did find myself using a zoom out to 300mm when in Venice to capture the details along the tops of the cathedrals. I also used the 70-300 on my recent vacation to Hawaii for the helicopter shoot, since it's fairly fast (at f/5.6) and had a more compact size suitable for the open door helicopter we were shooting from. If you're wanting to capture the entire building, aka architectural photography, then the 18-140 is probably the best choice of the three lenses. For more of a macro feel, or focus on the smaller details without the overall architectural shot, then the other two lenses are good. I'd tend to favor the 70-300 on a DX body because of the extra reach and versitility, but the 80-200 may be a faster lens if shooting details indoors. [/QUOTE]
